Hello,

I just rented me a dedicated, and I've got a pertinent question.

You either make yourserver pasworded and everyone needs to enter a password. But I'd also like , whenever my friends and me play, that it attracts players from the public.

In left 4 dead you can have a condition where the server won't attract players by simply adding sv_search_key , so it'll only begin attrackting when somebody searches it, or joins it directly.

THis means that we can perfectly control when people are "desirable".

Now, I always have to kick players if I want to play on my own server. The only woul would be to make it always passworded and have everyone enter the passworld;

Isn't there a matchmaking mode where it will only respond to direct joins, and then start attracting players when the session is busy ?

thx
